Well, I usually avoid O'Really..
..But there are times when Bill O becomes the news. This is one of those times.

On 10 Nov. the ever informative Media Matters reported on the latest of O'Reilly's outrageous statements.

They've run with the headline: O'Reilly to San Francisco: "[I]f Al Qaeda comes in here and blows you up, we're not going to do anything about it. ... You want to blow up the Coit Tower? Go ahead"

Short transcript and audio at above link.

I rarely report on pundits. They tend to be ill-informed and extreme. But this crosses over the line that separates 'edgy' and plain poor judgement.

Is this Bill's attempt to one-up Ann Coulter's statement(paraphrasing here) that it was: 'Too bad Timothy McVeigh didn't blow-up the New York Times Building,' instead of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City?

That's Right-wing punditry today.

Why this blow-hard still has a job is beyond me.
